Want to know how to get your stuff in New Products? If you have a new truck- or 4x4-related product you'd like us to help you debut, e-mail an image and some text to newproducts@4wheel offroad.com. Please have all images be no less than 1600 x 1200 pixels (or two megapixels) and be saved as a TIFF, an EPS, or a maximum-quality JPEG file so our art director doesn't shoot us. We can't use images off of any Word documents or Adobe Acrobat files, so be sure to include a separate image in the proper format, or it won't be run. Thanks again. We love seeing all the new stuff you guys come up with!

Got an Isuzu and think there's no love out there for you? Think again. Independent 4X has lots of stuff for you whacky Isuzu guys. The company has Aussie lockers, and not only for the rear 12-bolt, but for the front 10-bolt IFS diff as well. If you've got a Rodeo, Trooper, VehiCross, or Amigo, then Indie 4X has stuff for you.

Wow, it's like we went and invented the jack we've always wanted. The new Powerbuilt All-In-One jack is a bottle jack and jackstand all in one unit. It raises from a height of 13 to 21 inches and will support up to 3 tons. It can serve as a great jack in the garage or on the trail. Information: All Trade Tools, www.alltradetools.com
Got a truck and not enough seats for everyone? How about slipping a couple of seats in the rear to carry a few extra people, legally and safely? Bedryder kits place buckets seats with belts in the back of the bed, and are removable should you need to haul a big load. The seats slide in and out of the seat assembly frame without the need for any tools. Information: Bedryder Inc., 770.846.9067, www.bedryder.com
Now you can buy Ultra Seal U-joints that are internally sealed and provide extended life in even the harshest of conditions. The body is machined from a high-tensile steel to reduce flex under load, and the internal cap seal ensures that water and muck are kept out of the needle bearings. Quality Gear has applications for most 4x4s. Information: Quality Gear, 888.452.7979, www.qualitygear.com
When you break plastic parts or are trying to bond two of them together, it isn't as easy as joining steel with your friendly MIG welder. Hernon Manufacturing has found a way to get their new tubes of ReAct to bond some of the hardest plastics, steels, and glass together at a shear strength of at least 400 psi (usually getting closer to 4,800). The ReAct bonding agent is resistant to moisture and most chemicals and is temperature resistant up to 275 degrees Fahrenheit. Information: Hernon Mfg. Inc., 800.527.0004, www.hernonmfg.com
